You know, 21th Century Fox is a subsidiary of [-]st Century Fox, and their fate is in the hands of the parent company.Now the parent company has changed hands, which means that everything about them has fallen into the hands of the richest man.And based on what they did to the richest man before, he was really not sure whether the richest man would give him some shoes to wear in the future.

And don't forget, the reason why Wharton came to do this kind of forced palace is entirely because of his instigation.If he hadn't gotten the news and tried his best to stop it all, things wouldn't have deteriorated so quickly to this point.He has ghosts in his heart, it is inevitable.So naturally, he couldn't help but become terrified of these subtle changes today.

Fortunately, no one was paying attention to him at this moment.Even the richest man Wang, who had a little bit of trouble with him, didn't pay much attention to him at this time.After all, what he is busy with now is all big things, and the importance of any of these big things is more important than worrying about him.So naturally, it was understandable to put him aside.

With such luck, the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox immediately broke into a cold sweat in his heart.But just when he thought everything could pass like this, there was a sudden burst of noise from downstairs.

It was as if there were hundreds of people parading and making noise underneath, even if they were at the height of these dozens of floors, they could still hear clearly.

"what's going on?"

It was supposed to be a good day, but things like this happened one after another.This made Wang Shoufu feel uncomfortable immediately.He hastily asked the surrounding management, and such a question, those people in the management are powerless.They talked to each other, apparently at a loss for such a question.But at this moment, the assistant outside suddenly rushed in and yelled at them directly.

"It's not good, gentlemen. The employees of 21th Century Fox rushed over suddenly. They were protesting Mr. Wang's entry into [-]st Century Fox. They asked the board of directors to give them a promise. They wanted the board of directors to reject Mr. Wang's proposal." Acquisition!"

"What, it's just nonsense. Why are they here to join forces!"

There was a sudden commotion among the shareholder group, and immediately after that, the managers also started to make a commotion.They were all surprised by this situation. There was only one person, the CEO of Fox, who suddenly sat on the ground at this time.

He knew that he was finished, completely finished!

In order to calm down the turmoil caused by a certain idiot, the richest man Wang had no choice but to promise a lot of things against his will.For example, he promised not to voluntarily lay off employees within a certain number of years, promised to retain a certain number of American employees, and he also promised to raise wages.

For a capitalist, this is definitely not something they are willing to take the initiative to do, but in order to appease the emotions of employees and for his most important plan at the moment, he can only make compromises.

Of course, the compromise is only for ordinary employees.Like the management who planned this, especially that idiot.Even if he ignores the disgust in his heart and only thinks about the stability of the company, he absolutely can't let these guys stay here.

It is inevitable to get out, but such a thing is not worth doing by the richest man himself.Rather than wasting time on such things, he needs to focus more on his most important plan at the moment.

Time Warner, his and Tony's second target.But for this goal, the richest man Wang is actually not that satisfied.The reason is simple. Although Time Warner is huge, it is also considered a giant in Hollywood.However, the entire Time Warner industry is not what he needs most.

What he needs is the TV industry, even if it is Fox TV in Fox, what he really needs is one that can occupy the top position in the entire American TV network system.On this issue, it is obviously not enough for Time Warner to only have part of the shares of Turner TV Network and CW TV Network under its name.He needs a bigger goal, and he has already thought about this goal, and that is the Viacom Group, a media giant that holds such an important thing as the CBS TV network.

Of course, acquiring Viacom is not as simple as acquiring 21st Century Fox. After all, 21st Century Fox is an industry separated from News Corporation, so it cannot be as huge as it used to be.A considerable part of News Corporation's business is located in the UK. With the destruction of the UK, the former media tycoon Murdoch's family is almost inevitably severely impacted.

40.00% of the British paper media is controlled by him, which was a glorious rule in the past, but today, it is a nightmare for the entire Murdoch family.Although relying on the resources they have, they can still maintain a superficial brilliance, but in fact, they are already stretched in many places.

The impact of the stock market coupled with internal divisions has made it almost impossible for the Murdoch family to control the property under their own name.After all, they are only the largest shareholders themselves, and he can certainly be called the owner of the group if he can unite other shareholders.But with their own strength weakened and all shareholders in danger, it is of course impossible for them to continue to unite.

This is why the richest man Wang was able to successfully acquire 21st Century Fox.People's hearts are scattered, so it's better to fill such a vacancy with some tangible benefits.Moreover, being able to take advantage of such an opportunity to cling to the richest man Wang, who has huge resources and connections in the mainland, will naturally be a good choice for the Murdoch family who urgently need to open up new markets and restore their own decline.

However, Viacom Group has no need to do so.Although their market has inevitably been affected to a certain extent by the turmoil in the United States, the problem is not so obvious for this media empire that has already extended its tentacles to the whole world.So of course, if the richest man wanted to attack him, it would not be as smooth as it is now.

The only thing he can borrow is the turmoil in the stock market, and although this can be regarded as having a certain impact, whether it can play a key role is still up for debate in the end.After all, this is an external factor, and it has never been these external factors that can really determine the final outcome of the problem.In the final analysis, everything still depends on strength.

Whether the funds in the hands of the richest man Wang can satisfy the shareholders of Viacom Group is the real key.But the problem now is that he, who has already borrowed 2000 billion and spent a sky-high price on the acquisition of 21st Century Fox, may not be able to come up with a satisfactory figure.

You know, when Viacom acquired CBS, it cost almost 460 billion US dollars.In addition to CBS, there is also a behemoth like Paramount under his name.It is almost impossible to win it without 800 billion.

This kind of cross-border acquisition is best done quickly. If a sufficient price cannot be used to directly break the bottom line in the hearts of those shareholders, then things will inevitably become more and more nightmares.On this point, Tony also has a request. What he asks of Wang's richest man is to solve these problems as soon as possible.And as soon as possible, it is impossible to have no money in hand.

The U.S. dollar has depreciated sharply, but it has not reached the point where it is on par with the renminbi.As for the richest man Wang, who had already spent almost half of the funds, the funds in his hands were no longer enough.If he wanted to continue, he had to spend more funds, which was definitely impossible on his own.So after making up his mind, he immediately did such a thing, which was to mortgage the shares of Fox that he had just acquired to the bank.

He borrowed 800 billion directly from the central bank, and with this fund, he directly asked Viacom Group for a premium acquisition.In the face of this big move by the richest man, the entire American press, which had already heard about it, became crazy.

"The Chinese are crazy, they want to use money to conquer the world?" This is the headline given by the media who are crazy and incredible about the news.

"Arrogant Chinese, they will do the same thing as the Japanese." That was the headline of a complaint, even resentment, about this madness.

"The American television network has fallen into the hands of the Chinese. Starting today, we will see the United States in the hands of the Chinese?"

Almost in an instant, the entire American media and the Internet were flooded with such and such discourses, and these voices, without exception, were almost all accusing the Chinese of their terrible behavior.Such a thing, if there is no one behind the scenes, it is absolutely impossible.

This point, even the richest man Wang who has just set foot on the land of the United States can see it, so immediately, he ordered the American media power he had just acquired to launch his own campaign against this unhealthy trend in public opinion. counterattack.

"Fox changed hands, and the stock price began to recover. A shot in the arm for the turmoil in the US stock market!"

"An inclusive country and a tolerant society can forge such a diverse civilization today. Welcome, Chinese, to join the American media family!"

"The king of China promised to open up more markets and promise more job opportunities. This may be a turning point for the United States, where the employment situation is currently sluggish!"

"Where is the future of the United States? Cooperation may be our only chance."

Although the attacks from the media were fierce, there were quite a few people speaking for him from the standpoint of the richest man.Especially after the media announced the richest man Wang's commitment to the Fox employees, the overall public opinion tended to shift towards him.This kind of change is really unexpected, and for the person who brewed all this behind the scenes, it is even more intolerable.

Sumner Redstone, the major shareholder of Viacom's board of directors, is now banging the table and yelling at these unscrupulous media the most violently.

"These bitch media, do they know what they are talking about? Why do they want to speak for the Chinese? Don't they know what will happen if our current market is invaded by the Chinese?"

As the head of Viacom, the emperor who led the company to the top in one fell swoop.Lei Shidong has the only voice in the entire group.He has the highest authority and the highest right to speak.Even other shareholders are often subdued under his power.

After all, for most shareholders, all they want is benefits.As long as Lei Shidong can always bring them substantial benefits, then even if they tolerate him a little, it's no big deal.

Like now, when Lei Shidong is furious about something, most of the shareholders will endure it silently without saying a word.But unfortunately, this is something that only happened in the past.As Redstone put down his power and returned to the board of directors, and Viacom's interests were not as good as one day.Many shareholders are already dissatisfied with the status quo of the company and Lei Shidong's violent temper.

Therefore, when he yelled and scolded like this, shareholders said to him almost immediately.

"Mr. Lei Shidong, calm down. We are having a shareholders meeting, not listening to you swearing at others. If you want to swear, go back to your home, face your walls and dogs, whatever you want How to scold!"

"You!" Hearing this, Lei Shidong, who has always been violent, immediately wanted to divert his firepower.But when he thought carefully about the power represented by this shareholder, he immediately extinguished this thought abruptly.Although he is violent, he is not a fool.He is still clear about who can offend and who cannot.

So he took a deep breath, changed his tone, and said loudly to all the shareholders present.

"Okay, since it's the general meeting of shareholders, let me talk about something related to the general meeting of shareholders. First of all, as the major shareholder of Viacom, I must express my attitude. I will definitely not accept this Chinese bid, No matter how high his bid is, it is impossible. Viacom will never sell to a Chinese, absolutely!"

Sumner Raystone, someone nicknamed him the media king.

His life is full of legends.Born in poverty, he had to work hard on the battlefield. He even had the title of World War II hero after participating in World War II.After World War II, he devoted himself to the field of media and began to work hard in this field.From starting a business at the age of 30 to almost 60.His life is mediocre, and the company he works so hard to run is not at all emotional.Judging from this trend, even if he dies, it is impossible for him to become a media emperor.But when he was 58, a fire changed everything.

He was badly burned and nearly died.But he, who survived the catastrophe, did not get depressed because of this, but took it as an opportunity for his life to change.That is to say, from the time when he was 60 years old, he started his miraculous life.

At the age of 63, he sold his property and acquired Viacom, which was not well-known at the time, and developed Viacom all the way until he acquired Paramount at the age of 70.Then there was the 76-year-old acquisition of the cbs television network for $460 billion.Until now, Viacom has become the world's top media company in his hands, and he himself has become a well-deserved legendary tycoon in the entire media industry.

Such a special experience has naturally brought him great prestige. Known as the king of media, he has always been unambiguous in this company created by himself.Even now, as he's older and retired to the background, he still has that confidence.He thought that as long as he said so, shareholders would respond to his actions.But unfortunately, things are not what he thought.

Almost at the moment when he made his statement, some shareholders began to sing against him.

"Mr. Lei Shidong, I think you need to know. Our earnings have fallen sharply throughout last year. We have been in a downturn in the stock market. We even said that before the shareholder turmoil, our stock price even fell by 20.00%. Five. Your Excellency, you should be very clear about what this means. Now, the turmoil in the stock market is intensifying, and our losses are also expanding. If we do not accept such a premium acquisition at this time to make up for the losses of our shareholders , how long do you think our shareholders can last?"

"This is not a reason for you to sell the company, sir. You should know that the company's decline is only temporary, and the whole world is affected by the turmoil. We will recover, and by that time, the company's earnings will be enough to cover your today's income." Loss. All you have to do is wait, that's all."

The voices of shareholders Redstone cannot be ignored, but this does not mean that he will change his mind because of them.As a man known as the emperor, Lei Shidong's conceit in his heart is naturally far beyond ordinary people.So he refuted it almost immediately, and even said that he was almost using a strong tone to oppress these so-called shareholders.

He thought he could do this, as long as his attitude was strong enough, it was absolutely impossible for these shareholders to ignore his opinion.It's just a pity that this idea was feasible in the past, but it is completely unfeasible today.
